Focus, focus, focus

At the moment all I can think of is words...

urban, space, design, society, people, city, sound, media, social, interaction, art, environment, globalisation, culture, architecture, existence, mobile, connections, communication, place, community, technology, context, flow, simplicity, complexity...

I'm struggling to find the focus for my project, everything I look at interests me and sends me off in another direction. I know I need to narrow down, otherwise I will be going round this loop forever. I feel like I need to grab hold of one bit of inspiration. I found this image here from Robin Howie, which I feel captures some of what I'm thinking about. A Dialogue with Public Space "transforms the public landscape into a conversation."


Any ideas or suggestions from anyone on how to find focus on the project would be much appreciated. I'm sure I'll get there, I just hope that it's soon.

I know how you feel. Over the winter break, I was sitting with my mom trying to think about what I was interested in and what I wanted to do. But I still felt so lost about it when I got back to Dundee. It wasn't until Catriona suggested looking into soundscapes when it all finally seemed to come together.

Have there been any concepts that have jumped out at you? Perhaps just grab onto one of those and dig deeper into just that. Are there any questions that need to be answered still? Wish I could be more help...
